It's actually an honor for me to check your video presenting the Afrika Kommit. It's my first time hearing about the opportunity, and I'm so grateful for your explanation.
Hi. For the change initiative, Please go through the website of the company you are applying to. Look at the social projects they support, come up With an idea that you wanna implement in your country based on the companies' vision and strategy. Don't over complicate it, think of a problem in your community and how the company you are applying to will help you implement the solution. I hope this helps.
I am Jane from Uganda. Thank you so much for the love you are showing us by what ever you are doing. My question is about the age limit for the fellowship.
Thanks so much for sharing beautiful soul. Can you please give me more suggestions on what is recommended to fill on the ten years future plan and the change initiative?
Hi. To answer your questions 1. For the 10 years future plan, they want to know your long term goals in all aspects of your life in terms of your career and personal development. What do you wanna achieve in ten years to come? This programme is trying to create change makers, people who want to make an impact in their society specifically Africa. So you must be goal orientated. For example, They can't give you this fellowship and in 10 years to come, you decide that you're gonna sit at your village not doing anything. The knowledge you gained must be put to good use. 2. Please go through the website of the company you are applying to. Look at the social projects they support, come up With an idea that you wanna implement in your country based on the companies' vision and strategy. Don't over complicate it, think of a problem in your community and how the company you are applying to will help you implement the solution. I hope this helps.
@@DreamwithRia thank you so much for getting back to me fast! and it is helpful. Okay I get the purpose now, but one question is, that I have an Entrepreneural plan for the future and also for the change initiative like creating my own business with the skills they provide, but I am a 9-5 fulltime worker currently. Is that okay? Is showing Entrepreneural spirit in these questions supported? Thank you so much again!
Bitte 🙏, Ria can you help with the short motivation video, something like a guide for us. Please 🙏 ND also throw more light on that stage 3 which is the registration proper. Thanks ❤
Hi Chika. If you have started with the application already, there is a section with guidelines of what sections should be in the presentation. Those will guide you how to prepare the slides.
Hi. You can do the short presentation in PowerPoint. The application has provided you with guiding questions that you have to answer by preparing a PowerPoint.
Thanks Ria for information sharing, I’m new here , I’m keen to this fellowship, I will glad if you can assist me in the application process, am Kali from Namibia
NEW. I have two questions; As an high school teacher from Kenya do I stand a chance to be selected? In the application process I understand there is a point you're required to provide a short video of yourself if I am not wrong. If so, what fo they want us to explain in the video.
Hi. It would be good if you actually go through the requirements on the website. Unfortunately there are no teaching positions. You can go through the profiles, mybe you will find something matching your qualifications. There is no video requested, its a presentation and they have given you guiding questions of what to include in the presentation. As for the change initiative IT'S IMPORTANT TO RESEARCH THE COMPANY YOU ARE APPLYING FOR AND UNDERSTAND THEIR VISION, LOOK AT THE SOCIAL PROJECTS THEY SUPPORT THAT YOU THINK WILL BE SUITABLE TO IMPLEMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY. THIS WILL HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR CHANGE INITIATIVE.
New! Please I have two questions Are you granted leave during this phase? Like a time to travel or rest in between Does every intern come into Germany on the same day/date? Or some come in one week after? Thanks
Hi welcome. 1. Yes. You will be an employee of the company, so too have leave days. 2. All 41 fellows will be scheduled to fly to Germany on the same day.

Hi Chika. Its good to hear from you. As a start, the application for Afrika Kommt this year has ended on 24 March 2024. You can apply in the following year. Qualifications for Afrika Kommt are determined by the profiles or positions available. You will need to find a profile and see if it fits. You can try to apply if you have the qualifications, even though you don't have experience. But the ideal situation would be to have experience and qualifications.
Hey Ria good morning from here, bitte will the idea for change that you will come up with be part of the motivation oder is it another write up on it's own. Danke schon 🥰
Hi Chika. The application form has different sections where you can enter the idea for change and another section for attachments. You must upload the presentation at the attachments. Please go through the application form to familiarise yourself.
Ria thank you so much for this video❤, I'm interested so much on this program. How can you be an help. I'm your strong fans I get a notification anytime you upload new video. I am fully interested.
Hi Uwem. Great to hear from you. Yes please, you should apply. Read through the different job profiles to see which one fits. Afterwards, register on the website to start your application, it's an online form that you complete. If you have specific questions when you are completing the form, please let me know.
Hey ria this was such an enthusiasm video .. I'm soo interested in it.. But one thing that I want to ask is that.. If I don't have those qualification or meet any criteria do I still have to apply for it.
Hi. Thank you for the feedback.You have to apply for a matching position with qualifications and experience that you possess. If there is nothing then unfortunately do not qualify.
Thank you Ria I am a new subscriber, and this video is great thank you for the information. Can I apply for this fellowship as a nurse since it is all business-oriented?
Hi. Welcome to the channel. I am sure there are profiles related to pharmaceuticals not specifically nursing. Check and apply for those. These are some of the positions releated to medicine which might be applicable to you Project Manager Diversity in Clinical Trials, Business Project Manager in Human Pharma Regions Emerging Markets, Manager, Clinical Operations (2 positions),Global Health expert or Global Health Digital expert
On the application form, they ask about current employment status , number of employees and all that stuff. So what if you're currently unemployed?? Since the questions are not optional. And do you really have to tell the number of employees for your company??
Hi. Not all profiles are asking for German. If the profile is asking for that its because German is the form of communication for stakeholders in that position. If you are applying for that position at least have German knowledge.
Hello Rita thanks for the information, I've read through the site but what am able to understand is that after the 1 year internship, you brought bck to Africa to start working in order to benefit your country ND theirs too. So please my question is who come you stayed bck ??? Like is there a chance of some coming bck or some staying bck. Thanks am actually coming across your channel just now. Thanks, danke❤
Hi Chika. The programme expects that the skills and knowledge you are going to gain will benefit Africa. What you do with your life after the programme is up to you. You can remain in Europe or go wherever you want. But the programme has a return ticket for everyone, but it's your choice in the end.
Hi Ria, thanks for the thorough explanation. I have some questions please 1) If one is currently working, does it affect one’s chances of being selected? And there’s no option to indicate that in the application please what do I fill there? 2) How many references are required? And we’re to input the emails right, cause the field as a 1000 character limit? Thanks
Hi. To answer your questions 1. It doesn't affect your chances, if you are working, it's an advantage for you. They are looking for people with experience. 2. There is no specific limit for the reference. Perhaps 2 to 3 will be fine. Yes, include your email address. That's how the programme will communicate with you. All the best.
Thank you so much Ria for sharing this. I came across this just this past week and I am researching about it. Will it be possible for you to review my application? And I noticed the application is requires 4 page slide presentation and it has 4 different questions which could refer to each slide page. I would like to know if it is okay to add an additional page for title and presenter name.
Hi Emma. You are on the right path keep on researching. Unfortunately, i will not be able to review applications, I can only give guidance if you have a specific question about the application. Look for someone you trust in your circle to help you review. Yes. You need to create a page for the title, photo, name of course.
i am new here and i am interested, i however do not have any professional working experience as i have been in school for a while now, how do i go about it this specific requirement is discouraging me
Hi Liinda. It's up to you but i would say apply if you found a matching profile and you have experience like working on social projects in your community etc
Hi Ria there is an fellowship that I wanted to apply for However, it requires me to have c1 in German and my Cv and motivational letter should also be in German, what do you advise I should do?
Hi. Unfortunately, if you are applying for the fellowship, you have to apply for one of the 41 profiles. Unless you want to come to Germany through other methods like finding an actual job. Does this answer your question ⁉️ l
@@DreamwithRia danke for the response but quick one please i saw on the site that this year's program is '24-26 but you say its a 1 year program. Kindly explain
Hi Amy. Honestly it just depends on the effort you put into your application and whether you have chosen a matching profile. The amount of research you make to understand what the programme is all about. I literally watched each and every video on RU-vid talking about Afrika Kommt the year i applied. It helped me understand the vision of the programme and what recruiters want.
Thanks please is first time ,even fruits pickers or to farmer can apply or to study in university to improve Ugricuture and computer ,please assist me l dont know these things ,,even to attach the papers we don't know ,hii from your neobouring countryside of yours ,,they sponsored the travel??
New from 🇳🇦!! 1. Can I apply for a program outside my qualification since the fellowship programs are not specific about people in the health care field? 2.Do I have to be business minded?
Hi. Welcome to the community 🤗 ❤️ 1. There is no application letter requested. Its just an online form that you complete. Please register and see how the form looks like. 2. Its a job advert like any job you apply for, that is why there are Job profiles from which you choose the job that you qualify based on your qualifications, skills and experience.
Hi. Look at the company that you are applying for, then go through their website and identify their strategy, vision and their focus. Based on that you can identify projects that align with their vision that you can implement back in Africa. Maybe look at social projects that the company sponsors.
Hi Takatsu. No, there is nothing for education, more of business. You can go through the profiles to confirm. You can look at other opportunities where you can apply for teaching jobs.
